Life's Tough

Recorded Live, this CD is a fine example of the powerful and engaging kind of show fans have enjoying for many years. This is a live album but with a studio twist that exhibits a side of the bands creativity rarely seen. J.O.'s personal favorite to date.

ABOUT THIS ALBUM

Album Notes

“Life’s Tough” features five songs of the late, great and longtime Colorado resident Howard Berkman, a Chicago Bluesman that mentored Johnny O. into his professional career from an early age. “I owe a huge dept to Howard and I am honored to be able to bring his music to a new audience now that he’s gone”~J.O. The CD also features the Johnny O. original “Crescent City People”. J.O. wrote this after the Hurricane Katrina decimated the city of New Orleans. “I spent some very formative times in my life there in NOLA and feel like we’ve injected a healthy amount of that city’s energy into our sound.”~J.O. With a number of blues classics thrown in, “Life’s Tough” is an album that will have strong appeal across the board from the blues purest to the funky, jam-band enthusiast of today.
